BB Pistols |

Was thinking about the g10's and g2000's and was wondering |
|
what's the law on these now? I used to see them in every |
|
outdoor/arms surplus shop but haven't seen them in years! |

I read a page on them there that stated if you were using bb |
|
pellets or darts that was ok but if you put pellets in then it |
|
was a firearm. Not sure if that was just the mainland or not |
|
tho! |

They can be bought and owned without licence across the water |
|
regardless of projectile. There's probably thousands of them in |
|
circulation over here. |

|

Believe it or not. U would need to put it on FAC. I think |
|
its like anything over 1 joule of energy then its considered |
|
as a firearm. Accross the water you can buy anything |
|
up to 12ft/lb without a FAC. |

Aye was thinking that-a good strong elastic band would need an |
|
fac about here!! |
|
So what would happen say for example if someone was to find one |
|
in their house that they bought as a young fella from a high |
|
street shop and it's not on an fac!? I'm assuming being a pistol |
|
type firearm you would have to be a member of an appropriate gun |
|
club to get it on an fac!? |
|
(Just an example in my head!! Lol) |

I reckon you should get granted an air pistol for hd of caged |
|
rats .. |
|
if I found one in the house from being a kid ,I'd ring my local |
|
feo and explain the craic and get it removed |

Child21 dont be so sure. Through work was aquired a .22 air |
|
pistol for humane distruction of mink and greys. I could have |
|
got a .243 quicker and with less hoops to jump through!! |
